Posted on Nov 3, 2011 12:00am PDT

You might find that you have different self-storage needs at different times. Whether you want to store extra clothing or an entire apartment’s worth of belongings, your storage facility is sure to have a unit that caters to your needs. Use this guide to determine which unit will work the best for you:

Small-Space Storage

Storage units that range in size from 72 cubic feet up to 128 cubic feet work the best when you are simply trying to store boxes. If you want to put your winter clothes away for the summer, for example, then a 72 cubic foot unit will be all you need. A unit that is 128 cubic feet can comfortably fit 25 medium boxes or the contents of a small dorm. Mini storage will help you eliminate excess clutter in your home.

Apartment Storage

If you are looking to store larger items from your apartment, then you might want to look into a storage unit that is 200 cubic feet or more. Storage units up to 400 cubic feet will easily fit the contents of a studio apartment. They can also fit boxes of records for businesses or the contents of a bedroom of a large apartment.

Larger Storage

To store all of the items from a one-bedroom apartment, you should find a storage unit that is at least 640 cubic feet. Your unit should also be at least 640 cubic feet if you are looking for space to store hundreds of legal boxes for a large business. The contents of a 2,000 square foot home can fit comfortably into a unit that is 1600 cubic feet. Ask the staff at the storage center for more information about which unit will sufficiently hold your belongings.
